Hello Friends. Hubby and I are just finishing up our vacation and I was thinking about what I could share this weekend. We enjoyed our vacation so much and we didn't go very far either. We just enjoyed being together. The weather for the most part cooperated and we were able to get to the beach a lot, which we truly enjoy. We like to find a quiet spot where we can talk, pray, or just go for a nice walk. We enjoy the solitude there.

While on vacation, I have been burdened somewhat with a few prayer requests so I thought I would share them with you.....

As you all know, my mother has gotten home from the hospital but she is not recuperating as well as she ought to. She will be eighty years old in a couple week's time, and I would like to see her enjoy her birthday; perhaps even enjoy a piece of birthday cake! She needs to regain her strength and develop an appetite. She is constantly nauseated at this point.

My cousin's husband Jim, was just diagnosed with a brain tumor/tumors and they have given him only months to live; that is with chemo/radiation treatment! My heart is so burdened for them. They need our prayers for strength and the hard time ahead of them. I pray the Lord would have His will done concerning them.

Then there is Amy who is also fighting cancer. She is the daughter of Debbie at There's An Angel On My Front Porch http://debbie-jeremiah3017.blogspot.com/Amy is in hospital right now and is having a great deal of difficulty breathing and she is in an extremely weakened condition. She is only a young lady and her family has asked for prayer on Amy's behalf.

We in the Christian community believe in the power of prayer and I would like to ask each one of you to pray for these people.

I believe PRAYER CHANGES THINGS. There is no communication in the world better than the power of prayer! "The prayer of a righteous man/woman is powerful and effective." - James 5:16

GOD'S LOVE DOES NOT KEEP US FROM TRIALS; IT HELPS US GET THROUGH THEM.

Thank you to those of you who would pray on behalf of these folks. Please check out Spiritual Sundays by clicking on the link http://bloggerspirit.blogspot.com/ or the Spiritual Sundays button on my sidebar. The Lord bless each one of you and make you a blessing!

Be A Blessing every day

At just the right time we will reap a harvest of blessing if we don't give up. - Galatians 6:9

About Me

I live a happy life in Green Gables country with my sweet hubby who is a retired pastor. We have three wonderful sons and five darling grandchildren. I love being a home maker and I thrive on bringing beauty and comfort into my home for my family and friends to enjoy. Life is made even richer by my faith in God who has taught me, "The joy of the Lord is my strength." I am so happy you have stopped by and I welcome you through my yellow door.

"One of the most tragic things I know about human nature is that all of us tend to put off living. We are all dreaming of some magical rose garden over the horizon - instead of enjoying the roses blooming outside our windows today. " ~ Dale Carnegie

My Roses and teapots are two of my favourite things

"Gratitude is the fairest blossom which springs from the soul." ~ Henry Ward Beecher

The Velveteen Rabbit

"Generally, by the time you are Real, most of your hair has been loved off, and your eyes drop out and you get loose in the joints and very shabby. But these things don't matter at all, because once you are Real you can't become ugly, except to people who don't understand. "~ The Velveteen Rabbit

Pink Saturday

Kathy's ~ "Victoria- A Return to Loveliness" and "Home and Garden Thursday"

A Favourite Scripture Verse

"Finally brothers, whatever is true, honourable, right, pure, lovely, of good report, if there is any excellence and if anything worthy of praise, let your mind dwell on these things." ~ PHIL. 4:8

I am beginning to learn that it is the sweet, simple things of life that are the real ones after all. ~ Laura Ingalls Wilder

Let us be thankful to people who make us happy; they are the charming gardeners who make our souls blossom. ~ Marcel Proust
